I need to retrieve all the documents that are in my collection in MongoDB, but I cannot figure out how. I have declared my 'collection' like this- private static IMongoCollection<Project> SpeCollection = db.GetCollection<Project>("collection_Project"); And I followed what is explained in this MongoDB tutorial. I adjusted it for my needs, like- var documents = await SpeCollection.Find(new Project()).ToListAsync(); However, I keep having the following error- MongoDB.Driver.IMongoCollection does not have a definition for 'Find' and the best override of the extension method [superlong stuff]. Find

I want to store a JSON string in an array format in MongoDB.This is my C# code for storing notification into MongoDB, here the field "Event_meta" field sending as a JSON string format to MongoDB. public async Task Handle(TaskPropertyUpdatedEvent eventmsg) { try { var meta = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(eventmsg.Event_meta); var notificationEvent = new Notifications() { Content = eventmsg.Content, Type = "TaskEvent", UserId = eventmsg.UpdatedById, EntityId = eventmsg.TaskId.ToString(), AddedDate = eventmsg.UpdatedDate, Active = true, ShowNotification = false, InternalEvent = true, UserName =

How do you call the Ping command with the new C# driver 2.0? In the old driver it was available via Server.Ping() ? Also, Is there a way to find out if the server is running/responding without running the actual query? Using mongoClient.Cluster.Description.State doesn't help because it still gave the disconnected state even after the mongo server started responding. You can check the cluster's status using its Description property: var state = _client.Cluster.Description.State If you want a specific server out of that cluster you can use the Servers property: var state = _client.Cluster

I have a collection like this: [{ "_id": 1, "OtherProperties": 100 "PersonInventory": [{ "FirstName": "Joe", "MiddleName": "Bob", "LastName": "Blogs", "PersonId": 1 }] },{ "_id": 2, "OtherProperties": 1005 "PersonInventory": [{ "FirstName": "Joe", "MiddleName": "Bob", "LastName": "Blogs", "PersonId": 1 }] }] And I am trying to select all the unique persons in the root docs using here newer type inference mongodb c# driver syntax. Tried this so far but getting errors saying the method is not available (i think this is to do with the grouping), can anyone show me where I am going wrong?

I've picked up a piece of code that is using the MongoDB driver like this to get a single object from a collection...this can't be right, can it? Is there a better way of getting this? IMongoCollection<ApplicationUser> userCollection; .... userCollection.FindAsync(x => x.Id == inputId).Result.ToListAsync().Result.Single(); Yes, there is. First of all don't use FindAsync , use Find instead. On the IFindFluent result use the SingleAsync extension method and await the returned task inside an async method: async Task MainAsync() { IMongoCollection<ApplicationUser> userCollection = ...; var

A general count query will be doing a int count = collection.Find(filter).Count(); Now that loads all the records as per the filter, so lets says I have 1 million records and out of those 0.5 million match my filter, so I'll have collection already filled with 0.5 documents. This is good enough if you want the documents, but what if you just want to know the count and not really need the documents, for memory sake. Can I do something like this int count = collection.Find(filter).SetLimit(1).Count(); This gives me the same count as the first expression, but I hope that the memory will not
